Growing Pains

Georgetown is now up against-the— -

problem of finding capital to provide the facilities -needed for its new status as the fastest-growmg indus-

trial centre of the province. The big.

industries which have established themselves t he r e—Bathurst Marine Limited and Gulf Garden Foods Limited—have assured eniployment for a large-number of people. There is talk now of a moss processing plant as well. This will require more housing accommodation, more educa- tional and recreational facilities, ade- quate sewer and water installation, street paving and lighting, police pro- tection, snow clearance in winter and other municipal: services on a scale which the town, with its limited bor- rowing and taxing powers, will find difficulty in coping with.

The report of former provincial town planner Walter De Silva, releas- ed yesterday by Municipal Affairs Minister Rossiter, goes into these problems in detail, and they add up to a worrisome budgetary -Headache for all concerned. But surely, with the town's development potential as- sured beyond doubt, these problems can_and_will-be straightened out. It would be unthinkable that our Kings

Aren’t these pains. always the ac- companiment of rapid progress and development? They have been met and overcome in other communities, and we would think more of Mr. De Silva's report if he had dwelt en-

-eouragingly on this point and less on the darker side of the picture. For of-cnurse-one-can-alwavs-_find-a-dark ‘side. If the enterprise and coopera- tion required in meeting growth ob- stacles aren't forthcoming, then the pains will undoubtedly get and

Their feelings are shared by all our people’ and where there is a will* of this kind—manifested already in such good measure—-there is always a way. The Jatest evidence of faith in Georgetown’'s ability to go ahead as a big processing and_ shipbuilding centre is the Maritime Electric Com- pany’s investment of over $350,000 in a 66.000-volt transmission line from its Charlottetown generating pliant to the area.This line is expect- ed_to be in operation by mid- September. By that time let’s hope that a practical overall planning scheme will be in the drafting stage.

Those * ‘Annual Increases”

The postal strike is over, but its {mplications are still being discussed. There is, for example, the statement of Judge J. C. Anderson, appointed commissioner to settle the strike, that

the Civil Service Commission habit of:

judging salaries only every second _year meant that civil servants were subject to an exaessive time lag. It would seem, he said, in an era of dynamic economy when wage yrates are changing rapidly, to be of the ut- more importance to reduce the time

lag “by introducing an annual rather -

than 2. biennial increase.” “It can readily be realised," he added, “that the institution of proper annual in- creases involves projecting the trend of increases well bevond a year for- ward from the review date.” Taking note of this cheerful ap- proach to the business of meeting payrolls, the Ottawa Journal reminds us that it is a recommendation, not for an annual review but for an an- nual pay boost, presumably for the Private

}

te meet those expected increases. _

His Honor said the government can give annual increases in a rising economy. He did not go on to say that if the government sees-a ‘falling economy ahead it’ should reduce salaries, or even hold them at their level. Private enterprise has to do that. The government has to do it, or pile up debt. But there is another problem that treads un the heels of this one

“We wonder.” comments The Journal, “if judge ‘Anderson gave thought to the amgunt of work in- volved in making an annual review to see how all government salaries compare with private enterprise and to stare into the crystal ball-of econ- omy and decide what can be done Such work would require an army of our best statisticians and econom- ists; an army. doing hothing of truly productive work in the country. We wonder, too, if he realizes'that on top of all that work there would be the prolonged annual task-of negotiation between government and_employees as to what was a ‘proper increase’.”’

But of greater surprise than the judge's excursion into the broad field of government service. administration was the Prime Minister's, reply in ac- claiming it. He seemed not to reject the philosophy therein recommended that an annual increase is “of the ut- most importance”. On the contrary, he said the judge had “a valid point there.”

So it's to be “another vear, an- ‘other increase.” and so. on indefinite- ly..Not to alb who have deserved it

but right across the hoard: ‘All one needs to do is live another year and get another increase.

Mr. Pearson didn’t say a word about this “‘valid point” when he went on the air last Saturday to discuss the terms of the strike settlement. Surely he couldn’t have forgotten it!

The Nursing Shortage

We have heard more than once from our hospital and medical organ- izations about the shortage of raines nurses.in Canada. It.is a problem, i seems, that has become eae Dr. Eliot Corday. associate professor of ‘medicine at the University of California and president of the-Amer- ican College of Cardiology, in travels through 31 countries, found that al- most all of them had a oa in nurses.

We must he. away behind the times, for we never realized that nur- ses had lost any of their glamor. Certainly not for us.. But if that’s the reason for the shortage of re- cruits to the profession, by all means let’s try to do something about it! Un- fortunately, in the report of his re- marks that we have seen, Dr. Corday

unglamorous drubbing to which they're subjected from all and sun- dry! Everyone who has a vote feels that he’s entitled to give them a blast. Yet they cling staunchly to

their jobs—even those who are most

notorious for playing hookey—and there is never any lack of aspirants to vacancies when they do occur.
