CIIARLOTTETOWN. WEDNESDAY, MAY 7. 1952- llalry Amalgamation
The practical boundaries of milk and cream collecting areas have been vastly extended in recent years and there is no doubt but that a handful of dairies could receive supplies from every part of the Province. With a greater volume of busi- ness, the cost of collecting milk might well be less than for the local factories in spite of a longer haul. -
From the standpoint of operation the larger units would have notable advant- ages. After the initial investment in plant there would be lower costs of mainten- ance, smaller staff in relation to produc- tion, and a greater chance of keeping com- petc:-I-t management.
The need for thorough reorganization in the processing and marketing of dairy products was strongly emphasized by Mr. W. R. Shaw, Deputy Minister of Agricul- ture, in an article appearing in The Guard- Jan recently. Mr. Shaw's statements are in full accord with those frequently made by the Minister, Hon. Mr. Baker, and by the Prince Edward Island Federation of Agriculture. The latter organization is now holding a series of important preliminary meetings throughout the Province, at which representatives of butter and cheese factor- ies are studying the feasibility of central- izing manufacturing operations from the milk supplied by their patrons. There are difficulties to be overcome and it is neces- sary that these be thoroughly studied be- fore a general policy is formulated. The movement is of great interest and import- ance to all concerned in the industry, and it is hoped will have far-reaching and ben- eficial results.
Population I
Not many people today accept as in- evitable the proposition of Malthus that population increases are bound to keep pace with food supplies and that the world will always face the spectre of starvation. At the same time a United Nations bulletin predicts that the human race, which new numbers 2.4 billion, may increase 50 per cent in the next generation. It looks for a probable increase of 500 million in the next 30 yeals, a figure which possibly could go as high as 1.2 billion. .
This situation will certainly call for more intensive utilization of land. For many years there has been a trend away from the farm to the city, partly because of the attractions of urban life, but chief- ly because of the inadequate financial re- wards to the farmer. If the production of foodstuffs is to be increased at the rate which population figures indicate will be necessary there must be strong induce- ments offered to young people to remain on the land.

our Sovereign the Queen? Will Canadians. as citizens of one of the richer areas of the new Pax Americana, be taxed to pay old age pensions and the baby bonus to the poorer Portuguese? How long will it take the people of the Maritlmes, whose recol- lections of 1867 still cause them at times to refer to folks from Ontario as "Upper Canadians" take to assimilate the "Lower Slobbovians" into the new constitutional structure? .
The pity of it is that Cabinet Ministers choose to waste time and words on a pro- posal which, in the present state of world affairs, is little more than piffle.

POLICE STATIONS
Sir:-The writer is indebled to Mr. Louis Stewart for the follow- in; item taken from the scrap book of the late Fire Chief A. N. Large, which is dated 22nd July. 1831:
"Alarm sounded Sunday "Chink at the hour of 9 P- m. for I fire at the corner of Queen and Graf- ton streets.

exertions were used. to stop the flames and burning rlnders from crossing the street toward the Apothecaries Hall. The Brigade

The fire ignited be- hind the ice house of Wm. Ken- nedy at J. D. MaoLeod's and Dr. Jenkins. sex-ernl witnesses were examined closely before the court on two or three sdjcurnmenis. A young vagrant known as Johnny
Hatch was one of the parties implicated. The witnesses were youthful, their testimony being
considered insufficient to put the scsmp on trial."

AN IDEAL MOTIIII
Sir.-In the very long ago a mother testified: "For this child I prayed and the Lord hath giv- en me my petition which I ask. ed of Him." The cruel belief of that age was that because Hannah had no bhildren she was under the curse of God. The birth of her child, Samuel. was to the mother a proof that the curse had been lifted. 5,, H .
There are some very worth- while truths to be lsarned for ihil My from this ancient story. First, Hannah accepted her child as a gift from God, which indeed it was. What a wonderful thing it would be if parents would ac- cept. their children as gifts from God. entrusted to them to be nurtured for Him and trained up for His service, in whatever field they seemed best fitted to serve. It would give parents a motive in all their plans and work for their
the burden. a heavy one. of their children's welfare they would en- trust thcm to God's wisdom and power to keep. Parents often look into the future with trepidation. So many things can happen. In
0! these reckless days there is the
drink danger; and there goes with that the doubtful companionship. The ideals children carry out from the home will greatly influence their choice of II life partner. which choice will greatly deter- mine their whole future. A young man told me: "I am seeking a wife who will be like my mother". and I can say that that is the kind of woman he got.
Then. again. Hannah dedicated
children: and instead of carrying-

Up till now, under the benevolent scheme inaugurated by Mr. An- eurin Bevan. wigs were free. The wonder of the thing surely is that any one should ever have believed. or that 272 British MP's should still believe. that it is the duty of the stabs to provide s bold man with false hair. Free spec- tacles or free dentures may be un- derstsndsble. A man minus teeth or unable to read print with the naked eye may be handicapped in getting or holding a job: yet he may not have the funds to buy the artificial sids he needs. It may be just. arguable that the community, lnssadcuoliksthhowes the unfortunate cltlsen s pslroof glass-'

that some people find baldness a handicap. It can make s msn look older than he is and that may be bad for his business. But he can suffer in the suns way if worry or s dlssolute life wrinkles his countenance. Does the state owo every one s. periodic face lift?

For over sixty years he was the judge and ruler of Israel, a man who left. the deep impress of his at ed life from the history of his people. . "What I am I owe largely to my mother." is the testimony of many of the world's great men. men such as Augustine. Wesley and Sir Walter Scott. it the boys and girls of the world had moth- ers like Hannah there would be no delinquency .n ' . nor would there be a drink problem either. As King George V said "the safety of the nation depends upon the
