THE LIBERAL ROADS SPEAK FOR THE

I POLITICAL FORUM I

NOT A POLITICAL ISSUE

sir,-In a recen-t political ad- .i.-;-ss, Mr. R. R. Bell chose to fa- .-lude non-political personaliies as his victims. mentioning my- self as an example of one who was able to obtain unlimited credit as a young farmer.

it is my personal opinion. and. I believe, that of the majority of 3-1.-. Bell's electorate. iivcrstepping the laws of fair play ihcn he begins slurring private i':ilZCIbS in his political taliks.

For Mr. Bell's information. any success that may have come my way. did not come to pass as a zrsult of unlimited credit or iiii-ougli my father's prestige. as .-in suggests. In my present small business. started eleven years ago. i began with an investment of 5175.00 for three animals. which. by the way. was not presented :nc, or extended to me by any govcrnmerlf credit scheme.

in future. I would suggest that Mr. Bell confine his political re-

-uarks to his political adversaries.l than to private citizens.-

uithdr such remarks are simply in poor iasie and most unbecoming to the loader of a. major political party. I am. sir. etc. B. 13. JONES.

Voting Responsibilities

sir,-As another election draws near. some no doubt are wonder- ing how they should vote. Others wonder if they should do as far ion many are doing--staying at home. But whether we vote or don't vote, let none of us be fool- ed by any party claiming the credit for our false prosperity. Far too long have the electorate voted for their party. right or wrong, and too long have they noted for what they can get out of it. one can only say. "Let the ilesdvote for the dead." but we who have caught a vision of a bet- inr day vote for something new. something different. let us cast ..ur vote this time for democracy. l'('il1eIIII)DrIlIz that democracy has not failed.-it has yet to be tried. The "dead" believe that they can reap where they have not sown; that bribery is OK. since .evErybody fsdaing it: that things .i'III go from bad to worse and there is nothing one can do about it. But we who are not "dead" know that the best is yet to be. ihat bribery and corruption spell A the downfall of any system and . lhat we. like the Apostle Paul, can do all things through Christ who strengthens us. so let us who have buried the past. rise to the heights that our time demands. and cast our vote in blank form in protest aisainst bribery. Thus shall we let the powers that we know that we are ihrough with anything and every- vhing that is out to destroy even ihe vestige of the democracy we still enjoy; and best of all we

-hail have the satisfaction of knowing that we voted for our- selves and the welfare of all posterity.

A RUMOIID EVIL

Sir,-You may consider me somewhat innocent but today I was shocked considerably in a conversation with my 21 year old son. We had disposed of the hoc- key season talk and I came around to a discussion of the coming election and his having attained the right to vote. When he seemed unenthused I tried to exiplain to him that it is not only a right but a duty to study the issues in an election and to then register a vote based upon the convictions reached after due dc- liberation.

He replied that all people. ex- cept a few people living a life re- mote from the practical world about us. voted according to self interest. He recalled that in past elections even he had heard that vast sums of money were spent by politicians to influence the electorate and that the price of a vote was usually an open fact in plenty of people. who actually ex- pected money before they would go to the polls. He asked if I were really so naive as to believe that elections were decided in an honest fashion and was very am- used and cynical when I said that I am convinced that most people (and politicians) are honut.

I fought in the 1914-18 war. my oldest boy was in the services in the last war, Canadian boys are dying in Korea. all to save "De- mocracy". If the youngster. of today are coming to believe that our own system of government is one determined by the price of a vote. how are they going to dis- regard the i dious type of prop- aganda comi from totalitarian dcmagoguesl Will they believe in and fight for a Democracy based on commercial deceit and corrup- tioni

HoId0iurse In Testing Milli And Cream

A short course in testing mill: and cream was conducted by offic- ials of the Dairy Division, Dept. of Agriculture. in the Agricultural laboratory of the new Health Cen- tre on two days of each of the last two weeks.

The students attending the courses were divided into two classes. the first class attending on April 12 and 13 and the second a week later on April 19 and no.

The course was held principally for young men with at least one year's experience in dairy plant work throughout the Province but anyone wishing to further advance his knowledge of the work could take advantage of the instruction given.

Among the things discussed were strict application of centrigugal force as determined by the diam- eter of the centriguge. verification ofv glassware. the mathematical determination of percentage from the samples tested and the proper method of reading the fat column and the correction of defective re- sults.

Those attending the first class were: Fred Henderson and Geraldl Doyle. Central Creameries; Percyi G. Gay, sunshine Dairy; Reggie. Smith, East River and Delano Con-I nolly, Morell. '

The last class was attended by. John W. Reid and Son. Borden; Robert Mountain. xonsington; El-I mer Gallant. Central Bedequczl Elmer Larsen. Cape Traverse; Le- Roy Delaney. Ideal Dairy. Sum- merside; Curie Stewart, Monta- gue; and Merlin Chaisson. Souris.

Those attending showed great interest in this important part of dairy work and very satisfactory iesuits were obtained. The instruc- tion work was conducted by Mr. I-I.J. MacDonald, Dairy Superin- tendent, and his assistant. Mr. Earle W. Adams of the Provincial Department.

gram and to handle the repairs essential to the Borden-Tormem tino ferry service. With a marine railway slip. the Provincial cap- ital could also look after repairs to vessels of the Wood Islands- Caribou ferries. He recalled that during the last war when repairs were made to naval vessels, costs were less at Charlottetown than at many other Maritime parts.

A marine railway slip. Mr. Mc- Lure continued. would also go far to keep the skilled labor of Prince Edward Island in their own Province instead of forcing that personnel to follow contracts to other Provinces.

Cites P. E. I. Share

Citing official government fig- ures. Mr. McLure recalled that during World War II. the Fed- eral Department of Munitions and Supply spent S790.000.000 or S'l0I per capita on munitions and sup- ply contracts. Of this total.l Prince Edward Island received 51,277 or one and A half cents per capifa. In future emergencies. he suggested. the government might well consider giving the Island Province a more equitable share of defence contracts. 5

Industrial expansion during World War II. he said. had been! almost altogether confined to On- tnrio and Quebec. i

"I am not envious of those two. great Provinces." Mr. McLure- aald. "but the Government must' be aware that it was unfair to. Canada ns a whole." 1

Ccntralization of industry in Ontario and Quebec, between 1940 and 1945. the Queen's mem-. ber said. had placed an undue strain on Canada's railway sys- tems and had accentuated the housing shortage by moving workers around from Province fol Province. ;

After the war. Mr. McLure con-. tinued. Prince Edward Island un-'

velopment. Reason for this was that the Federal Government hurl: ii large number of valuable lndus-' trial plants in Ontario and Que-il- bec which it put on the market: at a very low figure. It was im-. possible for P.E.I. to compete for: industries when ready-constructed plants were on the market at sacrifice prices. I

1 Interesting Letter From

Islander In South Africa

lion. A. E. Arscnault. retired Justice of the Supreme Court. has received a very interesting letter from Mr. Wilfred J. Kennedy, a former Islander who is residing in Johannesburg. South Africa. Mr. Kennedy is a brother of Mr. H.J. Kennedy, manager of the 'Char- loitctown Driving Park Associat- ion. and in his letter congratulates Judge Arsenault on his Memoirs which have been published in this newspaper, and which he (Mr. Kennedy) has been following with great interest.

Born at Tea Iliil. Mr. Kennedy went to South Africa almost for- ty-two years ago. representing Canadian manufacturers. and has received The Guardian 'almost daily since that time. He founded the firm of Wilfred J. Kennedy Ltd.. which specializes in Canadian manufactured products, and does business in all territory in Africa from the Equator to the Cape of Good Hope.

Besides being the head of :0

successful business. Mr. Kennedy has found time to take a keen interest in commercial and pub- lic affairs. He is a past president of the Johannesburg Chamber of Commerce. and a past-chairman of the Association of Chambers of Commerce of South Africa. Dur- ing the critical years of the war. when he held office in the Jo- hannesburg Chamber of Com- merce and the Association of Chambers of Commerce of South Africa, he took an active part in all war organizations. particular- ly the inauguration and ad-minisi- ration of the South African Im- port Control sysiem. and also price control.

Many Interests

When the Empire Exhibition was held in Johannesburg in 1936. Mr. Kennedy was a member of the executive committee which controlled and organized the Ex- hibition. He was also chairman of the Exhibition Ice Rink. which was one of the most popular and financially successful features. The Canadian Pavilion at the Exhibit- ion undoubtcdly contained the most outstanding exhibits there. and fully half of these were pro-

ducts of manufacturers represent-.

ed by Wilfred J. Kennedy Lid.

During Mr. Kennedy's almost forty years in commerce. he has visited a great many manufact- uring countries. with the sole ob- ject of studying international trade.

Mr. Kennedy sailed from Cape-

town on March 5, 1948, en route TM.

borough Bridge as an integral part of the trans-Canada High- way. He called attention of the House to the fact that cessation of railway operations over the bridge was causing serious diffi- cuitics and expense to a consid- crabie number of Prince Edward Islanders. notably residents of Murray Harbor.

Mr .McLure spoke of the heavy damage caused to the breakwater at North Rustico harbor by storms. It was being rebuilt. he said. but fishermen had written him saying that the job was a temporary rather than a perman- ent repair. He urged construction of a stronger breakwater and dredging of a deeper channel for that harbor.

Mr. McLure also called on the Postmaster-General to review the mail delivery system in Prince Edward Island. to take into ac- count and apply remedial meas-
