R. Cavcrs, proiv>>or of potiltry husbandry, Cni- vcrsiiv of _\l:tnit\»l>;t. The author emphasizes the rolc of the pttllllfY industry in converting raw. ntzttcrinls into products 0f tnnch greater vziluc. lll titztt rcspcct poultry flocks are an important ittctor in tltc marketing of Cutiadiun grain. Yet tltc _\c;irs of cheap gram, (luring the thirties, fttiletl to establish the industry on a

y sound and business-like basis.

licvcs. itiust dcpcnd tipon outside markets.

Czntadat must continue to have an OutlEl for a lztrgc stirplus of spring eggs, or else re- verse the production curvc. Specialized pro-

. V ducers in evcrv province are able to get satis- l factory year-round egg production. But farm

flocks still tend to lzty in a ltigghly seasonal fash- _ ion, dcspitc the improved feeding and care that . has resulted from the more encouraging prices for their products in recent years. One hopeful trend, so far as thfse flocks are concerned, is in the tctztlcncv towards semi-commercial farm flocks. “iltcrcas a smrtll flock may or may not receive the bcst of feed and attention, no one can afford to kccp a flock of several hundred hcns without thought for efficiency.‘

Sticaltiug of the future of the industry, Mr. Liners stivs that it has two alternatives- either it must eventually leave the export mar- kct and revert back to something approaching prc-\var sizc, or it must markedly stcp up its cfficicncy in all branches, including the con- stimcr anpr-nl as to price and quality of its pro- ducts. This is primarily a challenge to the poul- . trv cxtetiston workers in all govemmeng and "t. college dcpflrtmcnts. and in indnstrv, as well as to the expcrintctttal workcrs back of them. t‘ “Some m.'tv aver," he snvs, "that thcrc is still a third illlCfllllllYC.

farm in the country needs help at this season.

This inability of Eastern farmers to get help is having one vcry serious effect on dairy farms in particular. A great ntany dairymen this year planted little if any grain, partially because of adverse weather early in the season but also because of lack of help. They plan to depend on feed grains front the Prairies. It will work out if the Western harvest of coarse grains is a good one, otherwise a big drop in milk produc- tion can be expected next Winter and many more cows sold across the border. It’s not a healthy trend.

D EPLORABLE ROAD S

sttq-I was wondering it you and the people in other parts of Prince Edward Island (also our M-P-s) are aware o! the condition 0f the road in this section of Eastern Kings County, that ls the East Point section which inciudesfrom the South Lake, Elmira crossroads on one side to the North Lake. El- mira crossroads on the other.

There has not been an)’ "all" work in this section for the last six years with the exception per- haps of a Government machine ivhicn docs more harm than good by gqraping a smooth path in the middle of the road which fllls u? with water during rainy weather. For this reuse-n thejmilel‘ has J10 choice but to drain cown the mid- dle of the road, digging huge T1115 and thereby giving large trucks good reason for gouging out lavke holes. Iricidently this Government drag hasn't ap eared this year as yet. Then aga there are wavel trucks that haul the gravel from our shores, break our inadequate bridges and culverts. but nrver put a crumb of gravel in the ruts.

We were of the opinlonall along that the company which has done such a fine job on the road from Sourls to Red Point was also go- ing to straighten, widen. and sub-grade the road around the East Point suction, but lately we have foamed that the road is to be fixed only as tar as Elmira and down the north side again to St. Peter's. Now. we are paying taxes too, and I believe that we are a: progressive as the people of Ei- miru, The train and bus terminal are at Elmira and we have a five mile trip to the station over our only means of cntmmunication~ the road. In the very near future the road will be fit only for pedestrians; in fact, some people are afraid to take their cars and trucks out now in case o! an ac- cidrnt.

It is high time our members be- gan fulfilling the promises they made the last election, or they wi-ll lose a good many of their supporters in this section the next election. One of the principle promises our members made while ivaizinr: their alection campaign, was. “paved roads for Eastern Kings". We have seen very little of our members since. Evtdently their consciences are guilty; 0r perhaps they think the people of this section are not deserving at u decent road. I think that you will find it true that M.P.'s to a very’ large extent make breaking promises a habit of theirs. I no- tice that the Government can spend money c-n less important things.

Now I invite anyone to see that I have not exaggerated existing conditions. and I urge the people of Eastern Kings to complain more to the proper authorities and less to themselves and to their immediate neighbours. We have been patient too long.

iou: olhct: at alcohol. The Prov- Iicc entered Confederation in i . Five year: aftfitwardl. 111 1878, tho danierou: effect o! the ule of alcohol was recognized throughout the Dominion. A state o! national emergency existed. It has been :0 declared‘ by the Privy Council (the Judicial Committee of the Privy Council. ln London). To meet this national emerxency regarding the use o! liquor, a statute was passed by the Parlia- ment of Canada. The statute was eminently fair. Wherever the em- ergency existed the Act could be brought into effect. Where no em- ergency existed the protection of the Act need not be invoked.

What was the principle of this Act? The purpose of the Act is declared. It was “to promote temperance in the Dominion." This was stated to be “very de- slrable." And how was this “tem- perance" to be promoted? By pro- hibiting the traffic ln intoxicating liquor. The Act declared that.

wherever it came into effect no person should sell or bttrter or give. to any other penon, any

intoxicating liquor, or any mixed liquor capable of being uaeu as a beverage. Traffic 1n liquor for beverage use, that is to say. to be used to lntuxicate. was definitely and expressly forbidden.

This was democrat. ': method of protecting the peope from m- taxicants, wherever the need of such protection existed. In order to prevent the lnternperance which resulted from the sale of intoxicating liquor, its sale WOI forbidden. The Act was enacted 1n May, I878. The same year it was voted into effect in Prince County in this Province. Next year, 1879, it was voted into effect in Char- lottetown, and ln Kings County. In 1880. ft was voted into effect 1n the other parts of Queens Coun- tY~

‘Thus we have democracy ruling:

First, the citizens o! Canada. through their representatives in Parliament, by declaring that wherever it was desirable that temperance be romoted, the sale of liquor shuui be prohibited. Parliament dld not nay that

Wherever it was dellrabie that temperance be promoted. the sale of liquor be permitted, and that. its intoxicating eflects should be "controlled". To control the "f- fect of intoxicating liquor afterit had been consumed was beyond the power even of Parliament. It war not Parliament's method at approach. It required the invent- iveness ol a later age to pretend to perform that task. The Parlia- ment o! 1878 knew that intoxicat- ing liquor intoxicated, and that temperance could nut be promot- ed by selling intoxicating liquor or by giving lt or by drinking lt. To prevent its use. Parliament prevented its sale. There was no other way o! promoting temper- ance, according to the vlew of Parliament.

The Dominion Act of 1818 was voted into effect, and was later voted should be continued in r»!-

tect, through voting: of the countries or municipalities on many occasions. There were six

votlngs in Charlottetown. In four of these the Act was maintalnud; in two. the Act was not maintain- ed. It was voted out 1n 1801. voted in 1n 1804, and voted out again tn 1897. As soon however as the Act was voted out, the Pruvinc-ul Legislature. speaking for the Prov- lime, passed an Act to protect the public from the unregulated sale of liquor in Charlottetown. The citizen: o! Charlottetown by vot- lng against the Act left the public without any protection whatever. Not :0 the people of the Province. Democracy declared that some protection was necessary. Alcohol was too dangerous a product to he sold without regulation or pro- tectlon of some sort. "The Char- lottetown Liquor Regulation Act" was therefore the immediate uns- Wer of democracy to the indiffer- ence of the citizens of Charlotte- town with respect to the injuri- ous effects of the sale of 31202101. 'I'he protection of this Act was very inadequate. and shortly a1- terwardr, democracy went furth- er and declared that wherever within the Province the sale of in- toxicating liquor was not prohibit- ed by the Federal Act of 1878. lt should be prohibited by the Pro- vlnclal Act. The Act. was passed ln 1900

Thus came into effect the Pre- vincial Prohibition Act, an Act.

which was intended to prohibit the sale o! intoxicating liquor. This meant that no one should

sell intoxicating liquor to be used as an lntoxlcant; {or of course the beverage use of liquor ls its use as an lntoxlcant. intoxicating liq- uor which does not fntoxicate is a contradiction ln terms. That sort o! liquor does not exist. whether lt be "pure liquor" sold by a Gov- ernment or impure ilquor sold by a bootlegger.

Throughout the counties of the Province the Domlnion Prnhihlt- ion Act of 187B remained in force from the dates mentioned illllll 1906, when by the mandate of the people, expressed through their votes. the Dominion Act was vot- ed out for the sole purpose of having the Provincial Prohibition

Many of the molt tumour British divine: were at dhe time or anoth- er chaplain: of Lincoln's Inn. But the best known o! all was much more tumour for his etry than hi: preaching. John onne. the seventeenth centur poet and my:- tic who was chm ntn at Lincoln’: Inn from 16116-1 .

The Chapel bell l: older than the chapel, for 1t was brought from Cadiz in 1697. Before the war o! 1930-1946 1t used to ring a curfew at nine o'clock every evening and this custom has just been reintro- duced, although nothing much happens at the ringing of the cur- few. But the custom was kept up for the associations that went with lt. and in that respect was t lcal- o! re-war Uncoln’: Inn. T31 the en 0t last century, for instance, a servant used to a ear attha door of the hall at twe ve o'clock every day and shout "venez manger", though there was nothing to cat it you did come.

The fourth side of this square 1a taken up by the old hall, a charm- ing brie building of the early six- teenth century set on a green lawn. This nld hail doe! not look its age. Its bri-cks were preserved by a coat of stucco that was plastered over them in 1819 and only taken away in 1838 when the faces were repolnted and the hall was solemn- ly rte-opened by Queen Mary.

For three hundred years (until the present Law Courts were open- ed ln the Strand in I883) the Chun- cery Court used to sit in Lincoln's Inn hall. Anyone who has rend Dlckerfs Bleak House (Dickens once worked as a lawyer's clerk in the Inn) will remember his account of it on a foggy autumn day. After that Pt was used for lectures tlll the Court 0t Bankruptcy moved there for a time in 1844 after its own building had been destroyed by a flying bomb.

Ever since 1846 the members o! the Inn have taken their meals in the new hall, a formidable muck Tudor building in red brick, which forms one block with the library 0t 75.000 books, the only library in the four Inns to survive the bomb- ing o! Ixmdon.

The new hall and library open onto l terrace overlooking the garden and behind the terrace there is a continuous flower bor- der backed by cherry blossom trees.

The opposite side of the garden ls eighteenth century; a range or! stony buildings in the bland clar- sic style of the 1780's. They bear the monogram of William Pitt. Prime Munster of Britain and 'I‘reasurer 0t Lincoln's Inn on a sundlai that records the data of their completion, 179G.

The planned march at eighteenth century buildings was intended to absorb the old brick courts that cluster round the eastern gateway, so that the Inn should 1n time be- come one harmonious entity of Palladian proportions. But the pro- cess of the eighteenth century re- building, like the mogress of the

eighteenth century itself was abruptly arrested by the French Revolution and the Napoleonic Wars.

This spared most of! the Inn's ancient buildings. The northern halt of what ls still called Old

Square, which dated from the early fifteen hundreds was burnt out in 1877 and rebuilt 1n the manner that that generation thought beautiful and convenient. so that Old Square ls now the newest art of Lincoln's

Inn, But while Oi Square is new. New Square, conversely, is old. The garden that the houses look

out on was once the tilting ground o! the Knights Templar. The hous- es datt- from the years 1682 to 1891. New Square ls in fact the earliest example o! t: typical form of Eng- lrsh town planning, in which the houses built ln squares. terraces, or creaents. all look out on a com- munal garden. Thls one l: perhaps the most beautiful of its klnd in London and in the spring its mag- nolia trees, flowing shruhs and lrly pond often attracts strange fowis whose place of origin has never been satisfactorily settled.

So these elghtacres (3.2 hectares) of Lincoln's Inn offer the visitor a composite of English history and Ehgll-sh taste. They comprise much that i: beautiful, and mo mtwh “W! l! "Sly. They display a ‘lno medley of Gothic heraldry, ancient
