Wat," says the Globe and Mail, "we must ask ourselves whcther the people have changed, or whcthcr the methods employed to harness their enthusiasm and cuiploy tiicir ability are less ci- fcctive. We stispcct that the people are the same, we know that the country as a whole is richer, and we are therefore forced to the cott- cltision that the Dcparttiit-nt of Ifiuance lacks the qualities of v1go1-, vision and knowledge oi public tisycholtigy, as well as the aJniinis-ti-atit-e skill which it ought to possess.

"The Loan was obviously ill-tinted, the 0b- jcctive sct was too high, and people were tirgetl at one and the szmie time to put their monny- away i11 preparation for meeting the increased income tax, and to use it for the purchase of bonds. .~\t the vt-ry time thc tioveriimt-tit was making its tiiost tirgcitt tilca for subscriptions to its \\';tr Loan, there was the 1111151 tiiirestrained clamor for SllltSCflplitlfli to various private and tuiofficial funds for other purposes i11 connec- tion with the war.

The moral, concludes the Chiba’ and Ilfiifl. is that MR. KING should waste no time in getting ncw blood into his Cabinet.

So many lenders have volunteered that. the Boy Scouts Association of Montreal Is concerned about, the loss. which can only be made up by the acquisition of new recruits. This scarcity of leaders comes at a time when the Scout Troops and Wolf Cub packs are eager to ex- pand their training and enlarge their scope of service.

PIT-PROP PRODUCTION

Sin-Mr. James Pendergast In his letter 1:1 Wednesday's Guard- Iim gives no Information that would

relieve the government of the responsibility, of overseeing the work of cuIt-Itig pIt-tvocd m. the Province. Mr. Walter Shaw

sttwscd the u r g on b need for forest conservation-"by fol-

lowing hhe principals of wood lot. impmvcittent." To this advice Mr. Pendergast ntakes no reply and as pit-wood can be cut and ship- ped In a variety of sizes, there is good reason to suspect that Indis- crimtnate cutting ts taking place.

Mr. Pendergast evtdentLv does not appreciate the great need of woodland in this Province. for the withholding of snow and razn, particularfv when the bushes are of sufficient depth to prevent. p011- etration by the sun and wind. The tree hedge; to which he refers, that surrounds many of our fields. are of little or no value In thIs latter respect.

Another important point 1s the very low prcc being paid for the wood, including the several labour operations of felling, stripping. cut- ting to length, barking, tiauling from the bush, piling and deliver- lnp to Railway or Ship. Person- a1 _v. I believe that. if a fair wage were figured for the lahotir, the wood is being given away without remuneration.

In New Brunswick where there are large limits. and the freight 1s lower the situation Is entirely dtfferen, In Prince Edward Island instead of exporting lumber even at a good price, we should bt- (lo- ing everything possible to add to ou1- wood lots, by planting new trees wherever the soil ls suitable, and culling where necessary, It. 1.x to be hoped that Mr. Dennis, as Minister of Agriculture, will give this matter his Immediate consid- eration.

REL HOSPITAL COLLECTION

Sin-In todayfis Guardian I read an advance notice re the 11111111111 hospital collection. I would like to draw to the attention of your read- ers that the artinttal collection In 1939 brought In $3001.46 and to compare that with the average a- mount. spent atintialy by the P. E. I. Hospital Ladies Ald. Tue Ladies Ald spends approximately $2500 a year on equipment and stipplics for the hospital. This HIIIOIITII» Is about 5-6 of the annual collect-ton or was last year.

The Senior Ladies Ald has the small membership of 44 and onlv about f2 of’ these nttcnd 11100111111; regularly. When you consider that our job ls to raise $2,500 a year, It looks as If the ladies of Char- lottetown are leaving the Job to a very few people.
