riiéir Golden Jubilee

All across Canada this year there will be oelebtoted the Golden Jubilee of the Women's Institutes. This is a big occasion indeed, and the event will be duly commemorated in Char- lottetown next week when the thirty-fourth on- nual convention of Prince Edward Island's Wo- men's Institute takes place, July 3-4, in Prince of Wales College hall. The Provincial conven- tion will be an important one in itself, and pub- lic interest will be enhanced by the fact of the Golden Jubilee falling on this year.

This is the first time there has been a Do- minion president from Prince Edward lslond— Mrs. Allison C. MocMillan, of Fairview, who has long been associated with the local Institute and was vice-president of the Dominion organization on two occasions, and a member cf the executive for a number of years. Mrs. MacMillan is scheduled to address the Island's convention next Thursday evening, and there is no doubt that she will be given a rousing re- ception.

Other speakers on Thursday evening will be Premier J. Walter Jones and Mrs. Mary Don- cld Deans, of Keen, New Hampshire, and Lit- tle Sands, P. E. I. The latter will speak on "Haiti--Where One Waits." Mrs. Julian Her- ring, president of the Provincial organization, will preside, and there will be presentation of F. W. I. C. life memberships to Mrs. L. H. Fos- ter, Marshfield, Mrs. John MacGuigan, Stanley Bridge, and Mrs. William Mutch, Rocky Point. The citations will be read by Mrs. George Mar- tin, of New Perth.

At the opening of the‘ convention on Thurs- day morning there will be an address of wel- come by His Worship Mayor MacDonald, fol- lowed by a luncheon at noon and a busy after- noon session which will include addresses by Hon. W. F. A. Stewart, Minister of Agriculture, Mr. W. R. Show, Deputy Minister, and Col. E.

,W. Johnstone, Long River, also various com-

mittee and other reports, and musical enter- tainment, The concluding session on Friday will be followed by a garden party at Government House, where the delegates will be the guests of His Honour Lieutenant Governor Bernard and Mrs. Bernard.

It is expected there will be between 300 and 400 delegates in attendance at the convention, representing the 270 Institute branches on the Island. The first branch formed here was at Marshfield, in I913, under the stimulus given to the movement by the Mothieson Govern- merit.

It was on February I9, I897, ln the village of Stoney Creek, Ontario, that the first Wo- men's Institute was founded by Mrs. Adelaide Headless, of that place. Tho idea spread far and wide, until there are now literally thous- ands of branches across Canada, doing work of lncstimable value in the cause of education, public health and other matters of vital con- cern. Nowhere have the Women's Institutes made more gratifying progress than in this Province, the movement being ideally suit- ed to an agricultural community such as Prince Edward Island.

Well - Meriled Boost For P.E.I.

From Hon. J. G. Gardiner, Federal Minis- tor of Agriculture, comes a high tribute to the superior quality of Prince Edward Island pure- bred hogs. His statement appears in the Han- sard report of the House ofiCommons, June I8, and is therefore a matter of official rec- ord. lt was made following a query by Mr. Mc- Lure as to the hog production figures for this Province. The Minister had quoted figures for Canada at large, for the Prairie Provinces, for Ontario and for Quebec, but had omitted ref- erence to the Island and even the Maritime lProvinces. He expressed regret that he did not have these figures available. Mr. McLure then pointed out that Island farmers were taking great interest in breeding a select class of Yorkshir-es, so much so that they could sell prac- tically fifty per cent of tlieir hogs to the other Provinces for breeding purposes. He mentioned the carload shipped a few months ago to Manitoba, and th-e fact that buyers are here now from Saskatchewan and Alberta.

" Thereiwas only brie snag with reference to the selling of this valuable breeding stock, Mr. McLure soil; namely, the long freight haul from Prince Edward Island to the Prairie Provinces. He urged the Minister to consider giving an al- lowance on their freight rate to western pur- chosers.

The Minister replied that at present pure- bred stack gets a freight rat-e of one-half. He added frankly: "l want to agree with everything that has been said by thc hon. member. Prince Edward Island stands right at the top in the production of quality hogs Their hogs are being utilized all across Canada to improve our hog population. -I do not think anyone can say too much by way of eulogizing the effort which is being made there."

The Minister, of course, is pware that this valuable Island industry is threatened by the proposed 30 per cent increase in freight rates. Let us hope that the Board of Transport Com- missioners take due cognizance of his statement above quoted, for it is vital to our case as pre- sented at the Commission sitting here last month by Mr. W. R. Shaw, Deputy Minister of Agriclulture. "The value of Prince Edward Is- land breeding stock," Mi Show said, "is well recognized throughout tho Dominion, and a par- ticularly good market has developed in West- ern end Central Canada. Our supplies gt reg-

istered hogs are only now under process of do- velopment. New breeders _have established herds during the present year with the hope of taking advantage of the expanding markets. Unfortunately freight costs to distant points are high and in shipping boars and sows, cars‘

. have to be penned off and usually an attend-

ant must accompany the shipment. An in- crease in freight rates would strike a very def- inite blow at this market and would injure ma- terially the swine industry of this Province and prevent the industry in other Provinces of Con- ada from securing the excellent material which we are in a position to supply. At the present time Island hogs are grading about 50 per cent A's—while some of the Western Provinces have a level of less than 25 per cent A's. The influ- ence.of this trade on hog quality on the Prairies or for that matter in any port of Canada would go for to improve and encourage our bacon sup- plies and consolidate our position in the British market.

The importance of the British bacon mar- ket has been the theme of Hon. Mr. Gardiner's speeches for a long time, and rightly so. ' Surely lie also sees the importance of getting our superior breeding hogs transported to where they are required at the lowest possible cost. The Minister is known to be a most effective champ- ion of his own departmental policies. Here is a matter in which we hope he will interest him- self with his custoinary zeal.

The Late Viscount Bennett

In the death at his home in England of Vis- count Bennett the British Empire and Common- wealth has lost ‘one of its outstanding elder statesmen. As Prime Minister of Canada dur- iIlQ the years of world depression between tho two Great Wars, his dynamic energy, courage, and sincerity were qualifications of supreme im- portance in bringing this country through.

Dufing his term of office Mr. Bennett stood firmly by sound money, integrity of Canada's credit at home and abrocd, and the meeting of all obligations strictly in accordance with con- tract. This involved Canada's retention of the gold standard after it had been abandoned by Great Britain, a decision which Mr. Bennett inade himself in the absence of his cabinet col- leagues over a holiday week-end. His Govern- ment also brought in the central bank (Bank

of Canada), nationalized radio broadcasting and social reform bills which were the precursors of much of lthe advanced social legislation of to- day. An outstanding achievement of his regime was the agreements reached at the Imperial Eco- nomic Conference at Ottawa in I932, where Canada for the first time was given tariff pref- erences in the United Kingdom markets and increased preferences in the markts'of he’ sis- ter countries.

A native of Hopewell Hill, New Brunswick, Mr. Bennett never forgot that he was a Mori- timer. Among his many bane-factions to these Provinces was his gift of a complete set of Everyman’: Library to the then newly formed Prince Edward Island Libraries. He had many warm friends here, two of his earliest and most intimate being the late Mr. A. A. MacLean, M. P., and the late Mrs. Charles Hyndman.

After his removal to England and eleva- tion to the House of Lords, Viscount Bennett continued to maintain close connection with Canada, which he revisited on several occasions. His sympathies and interests were, indeed, Em- pire wide. Like Britain's wartime Prime Min- ister Winston Churchill, he was a staunch cham- pion of British lmperialis-m, few men in the long history of our Empire having served that cause more faithfully or effectively.

Proponents of the phllooophy that theres’ nothlng like a wlle and children to help n, man wln success, wlll receive a. Jolt from disclos- ures In the House of Commons. According to an Income tax table tiled In answer to a question from a Saskatchewan M. P., there were 67 Canadian bachelors making more than $100,000 o year In 1946, as against only 42 married men who earned more than $100,000. In Canadian business, apparently, the race goes to the men without fam- ily tles. Considering the foot that: i both the present prime minister and his predecessor In office are also bachelors, It, looks as though the single state Is preferable In politics, too. Many years ago Si-r Francis Bacon wrote that. “he who hath a wlfe and children hath given tic-stages to fortune." 51c Francis knew what he was talk- ing about —-and hls thesis seems to hold just as true In postwar Canada as tn Elizabethan England —Van'couver News-Herald.
