Conﬁdence Ls itself a psychological factor of great. importance in sur- mountlng difficulties, whether they be individual or national. The pre- dominant note in Canada today, in industry and agriculture. is undoubt- cdly one of conﬁdence. The 1930 slump is passing; tho year 1931 may prove to be the brightest in our history. Let us believe so, Ind, believ- ing, lei: us work end achieve.

The Year At Home

Despite the general depression not- iceable throughout Canada. and most parts of the world, the yen: 1030 has been, on the whole, 1 prosperous one for the people of Pnnce Edward Is- land, Our farmers have been blessed with bountiful harvests, and though pum; particularly in pontoon, vrere lower than 1n some former years. nevertheless there was I. fair ﬁnancial return to those who follow- cd the approved method of mixed farming. The quality of products was well maintained. 1nd the various ag- ricultural exhlbltlons were highly "italzle to the Province.

‘Ilzc decline in fur prices affected our fox ranchers adversely. Here again the mixed farmer, who carried on fox ranching as ll. side line, was at an advantage. The quality of Prince Edward Island foxes was well exempli- flcd at the Provincial Fox Show and at the Royal Winter Fair in Toronto, where Island exhibitors carried oil all the championships.

The importance uf the fisheries in-

dustry, the total market value of.

‘ which is estimated this year at about

".300.00, is emphasized in the report :1‘ the Chief Inspector, recently pub-i lished in The Guardian.

Uncmplovnicnt. prevalent during the year in other larger centres in Canada, scarcely affected this Pro- vince directly. Nevertheless, we shar- cd in the unemployment rcl‘ef fund volcd a‘, the special session of Par- liament to the extent of over $90,000. In zdditim to work inaugurated und- rr this scheme through the co-opcra- Lion of the federal, rlrovlucial and municipal authorities, much employ- ment was given to local workmen in the construction 0f the new Canad- inn Nstﬂmal Hots-l. the Provincial Sanatcrlum. the Charlottetown Por- um and other buildings.

Public health throughout the cltl’ zsnrl Province well maintained (lilrlrlg the year. The anti-diphtheria rznnpiipn. launched early iii the sea- son, resulted in the immunization through inoculation of 63.11 per cent. of school children of Charlottetown and 33.5 per cent. of school children m ofhs-r Sections of the Province. 17.14 llcr cent. of the children of pre- school age were also innoculated. The fund raising campaigns for the new Prince nlvrard Island Hospital and for the Prince county Hospital ivcrc well responded to. The progress made in building the Provincial Senatorium and the reorganization of all provin- cial health activities with the aid of a. generous grant from the Canadian Tuberculosis Association were steps in the ﬁght direction.

An important event of the year was the retirement from office of Lieuten- Govcmor Heart: and the appoint- ment of I-lls Honor Lieutenant Governor Dalton. There was also a change in the leadership of the Pro- vincial Government, Hon. Mr. Blun- dcrs‘ elevation to the Supreme Court Bench being followed by the appoint- mcnt to the Premiership of lion. Mr. Lca, this change necessitating the re- appointment of’ all members of the Wecutive Council.

Canadians to learn that 70,000 of those who were entitled to vote at the last general election 1n Canada were unable to read or write.

Fritz Von Oppel, German inventor of the rocket plane, tells interview- ers that iii twenty years or so rocket planes will cross from Berlin to New York in three hours. "You go to sleep in Berlin and wake up on Long Island," he explains. But even twenty years from now there will still be quite a few persons who will bc afraid that they nray go to sleep in Berlin and wake up in llcuvcn.

The more one thinks about the wind-up of that "great Russian trial," the more plainly does one dc- tect a. fishy odor. The thing seemed too good to be true, right from the start, but the conclusion, with a kind-hearted government saving the necks of a group of confessed “trait- ors," caps the climax!

On the surface, the whole business locks like an elaborate bit of pro- paganda work, for home consump- tion. And it must be admitted that it was very well staged, from start to finish.

On u highway In Saxony, l dee- patch says, many motor cars have stopped recently "for reasons not understood by their drivers." So e report arose that governmental ex- periments with an "invisible ray" had stalled the engines. We used to have the same trouble with cars ourselves in the old days. They often stopped “for reasons not understood by their drivers." But it wasn't invisible rays that stopped them. Perhaps they need some modern motor cars in lxcny.

A first edition volume lllued by n poet of such recent date as Welt Whitman brought 02.000 at: the euc- tion of Inrd Birkenhead‘: library. It is s. warning to be always careful before destroying an old book. There are, no doubt, e. few of the Kiln-lar- nock edition of Burns’ poems accum- ulating dust in various parts of the world, though valued at twelve thousand dollars.

celly was the defeat of the Macken- zie King Government and the elec- tion of the Conservative party in Canada under Rt. Hon. R. B. Bennett, this PWWIIICO returning three Conser- vative members. Following this event a. provincial hy-election in the Sce- cnrl District of Prince resulted in the defeat; of the Attorney General and the return of the Conservative candidate, Mr. G. Shelton Sharp.

Tlic organiz. .iorl of a Provincial Police Force was undertaken during the year. The necessity for this forcc has been emphasized by the preval- cnce of n. COTLSldCPRlJlG clcgrcc of law- lessness in different parts of thc Pro- vince.

Another serious problem has devel- oped with rcspcct to traffic accidents. Last year thcrc were no motor car fa- talities in the Province; this year there were thirteen. Many of these accl- dents occurred zt level railway eros- slrlgs; two of them, occurring on the in the death of ﬁve persons and inlury to three 0th- crs. I

‘The tourist traffic, a. business of in- crossing importance to this Province. was wcll maintained during the year. ‘The anticipated early completion of the Canadian National Hotel and the new car ferry steam make the prospects for next season's tourist trade exceedingly bright.

Important vlsltailons to the Pro- vince included tours of the American Agricultural Editors‘ Association and the Pennsylvania Potato Growers’ As- socletion. We also received visits from l-lls Excellency Viscount Willlngdon and Lady wlllingdon, Sir Henry Thornton, Hon. R. J. Manlon, Minist- cr of Railways and Canals, the lead- ers of both political parties in Can- ada, and other prominent persons.

Death has called many loved and esteemed citizens since the opening page of 1930 was written. Among those who passed hence were Bishop O‘Leary, Senator Prowse, Rev. W. Bruce Muir, Mr. Percy Pope. Mr. Bruce Stewart, Mr. Hed- lcy Buntaln, Mr. J. A. MacDon- ald, Provincial Dairy Inspector, two prominent Island journalists, Mr. J. E. B.

to got out on the streets and |el.l newspapers to raise money for their Christmas Cheer Fund. Being busi- ness men, they naturally try to get fair returns for their wares, although they do not follow the one-price principle. The peak price secured on Saturday for u copy of e paper was $2,000, paid by the Ford Motor Com- puny.

This appears like u sensational deal. Perhaps it was, considering that a newspaper usually sells for two cents. No doubt the motor company thought 1t worth the price under the circumstances. .

Because a newspaper sells for two cents is no reason for assuming that this is a fair price. In fact, it is a. ridiculous price, considering the amount of money required to turn it out, the service it provides, and the selling price of other commodities and services. -

Vital statistics compiled by the Japan Red Cross show the Japanese nre shorter-lived than most other nations. The average life span in Japan is 42.06 years for men and 43.2 years for women, as compared with 49.86 years for men and 53.24 for women in the United States.

The report of the Uniicd States secretary of the treasury issued llic other day, throws a curious sldcllght on the luxury question. In the course ‘of his remarks on revenue, Mr. Mel- llon points out. that the tobacco tax is the sourcc of revenue which has bccli least affected by the prevailing business depression. While the rcv- ‘cnucs from other sources fell off in ‘i930, the tobacco revenue increased. 'I'hoy were $450,300,000 in 1030 and $434,400,000 in 1929.

lllhat. docs it mean? Has tobacco

transferred itself from the class of "luxuries to the class of necessities? ‘Or is it that, in hard times, more ‘of it is used as a consolation for iotllcr things that are lacking?

Among the current quotations ls this of David Lloyd George: "1 don't. believe in leaping until you know fully well where you are going to land." And that is urrant non- sense. For the gentle David has been leaping for years without know- lng where he was going to land. And he has not always landed.

Considered. however, as a general principle, the thing is absurd. Who among us ls such n. pusillanlmous fool as to put off leaping until he knew where he was going to land?

Indeed, if one always knew where he was going to land, he would never start, and the whole of modem pro- gress would have thereby been stul- tilled. The great thing is the un- certainty, the gambling instinct in men,en instinct exemplified in the

inmone sort of mm by his eddie- tlon to crap gzmee end in the higher sort of man by his addiction to poli- tics and high finance.
