With some seventy-seven reso- lutions on their agenda to be dispos- ed of. t.he Canarlian Federation of Agriculture delegates can hardly be said to be holidaying in our Gar- den Province at this time. But we fl-“Sf that 5.01119 of the Spifil of the hollday mnorl which our centennial year C.€IPI‘Il'3flt'lli,1 are intended to evoke \\lII brush off on them. im- planting a wish to revisit us later. when the celebrations get in full swing and the season will be more favorable.
' As Premier Shaw remarked at the opening ceremonies yesterday. the Dairymcn and the CFA are the vanguard of I10 conveiitions. na- tional and otherwise. slated to be held here this year. These represent a \vide variety of interests, but they can all be said to be dependent. more or less. on the culture of the soil, without which the pickings in any of the other professions would be; pretty slim, and the arts non- existent.
We understand this ve1'.V Well in Prince Edward Island, Where agriculture is still our basic indus- try, and chief source of revenue and emplo_vment. Farmers are well rep' resented in our Legislature, and we doubt if anywhere in Canada is there a more vigilant eye kept upon their interests.
', Theirs is a way of life that. ap- pears to be he threatened nowadays, with pressure. from the big indus- trial centres‘ tending to depopulate our farm areas and drawing more and more of our people into other activities. Organizations like the Federation of Agriculture have been actively combatting the notion that this trend is inevitable. and are to be“ commended on their efforts in fight.ing for improvement in farm legislation and in putting the iii- dustry generally In a better position to‘-';_»grapple with its problems and take advantage of its opportunities.
We wish the Federation eve1'.V success in its deliberations on this occasion. They could be as import- ant, in their way. as those in which our Founding Fathers engaged in thfiir conference here a century ago. and which led to such fin--reaching reiults.
E-A New Dispensalion t'The shortage of nurses is a p blem prevalent throughout Can- ada‘ and the United States. Now a hélth economist says that the hos- pital of the future will see automa- tion come in to do nearly all the chores: and cheerful nurses, reliev- ed of drudgery b_v electronic slaves, will be given more time for their patients. Perhaps. too. it will in- duce more trainees to enter the pro- fession. About five years ago. Dr. Mark
, S. Blumber. senior health economist
of the Stanford Research Institute, into hospital operation. He now believes that within another five years plans for the automation of hospitals will be completed.
He envisages a change un der
. ,‘which each patient will have a. ir_-"small, but private room. His bed, ‘-which may not resemble a bed at I ‘"5111, will supply an individual climate. 5*”,-.-';he way an Incubator does for a pro- nature baby. Electronic devices will pflnonitor his condition when needed. ’.=?.ind the sleeping pill will be replac- ziid by a weak electric current flow-
through the patient’: head at -- e. The automated hospital of the tux-c, on Dr. Blumbcr sees It, will - almost all tho pulonu un-
lhe Canadian I
dot the doctor's care. further re- ducing home visits. The patients will also be grouped in the hospital by the type of illness. rather than degree, to receive specialized nurs- ing care. Many of the devices that will be used to automate the hospit- al of the future are at present avail- able. and the others are on the drawing board.
We can hardly wait! It will be almost like taking a vacation in Disneyland to be hospitalized then. And obviously if the cheerful nur- ses will have more time for their patients, the patients will have more time with their nurses. Dr. Blumber didn't think this import- ant enough to mention in his pre- view of the new dispensation, but it should be listed among the fringe benefits.
The Right Objective
The federal-provincial confer- ence on fisheries development, now in session at Ottawa, could set its sights on nothing more important than on making Canada's fishing industry-—in P.E.I. Fisheries Min- ister Rossiter's words quoted in yes- terday's Guardian—“competitive on the high seas." The deep-sea fish- ery is one area where Canada. seems to be losing grotuid, and Ur. Rossit- er e.\'pl‘essed hope that out of the conference would come some encour- agement and guidance in coping successfully with this problem.
in emphasizing the stake we have in the deep-sea fishery in this Prov- inve, Mr. Rossiter discussed the dangers inherent in too much re- liance on lobster fishing, which at present provides about 63 per cent of the total earnings of our whole inshore fishery. We need not recap- itulate them here, but they point up the need for concentrating more on the exploitation of other sea re- sources such as the ground fish or pelagic fish, in quantities sufficient f or modern processing require- ments.
Expansion along this line will in- volve the development of larger, more powerful and more expensive- ly equipped off-shore boats. Some difficulty may be experienced in finding and in training men to en- ter these occupations, but the ef- fort will be well worth while.
The conference has now moved behind closed doors to begin seeking agreement on 3. draft national pol- icy. Premier Smallwood’s views ap- peared to be quite in accord with Mr. Rossiter's when he urged. in this connection, that emphasis be plac- ed on framing “a forward policy destined to modernize the indus- try. raise the incomes of fishermen and promote wider markets”—not on a system of “welfare payments and handout. programs" which at best in a poor substitute for a policy of any kind.
Improvement Noted
The latest joint report issued by the Dominion Bureau of Statistics and the Department of Labor shows 68,000 fewer persons with- out jobs last mid-month than was the case a year earlier. Total un- employment in Canada last Decem- ber numbered 3-16,000 as against 413,000 at the same time in 1962.
An especially gratifying feature in the nationwide picture was the improved unemployment and em- ployment situation in the Atlantic Provinces. In this region, at the end of December, the totaltnumber of persons registered for employment had dropped to the lowest figure of the past. five years.
In fact the Atlantic region at the middle of last month registered a larger drop in numbers of jobless persons, as compared with the like period of 1962. than any other reg- ion in the nation. Its total of unem- ployed persons had dropped to 50,- 000 from 70.000. or to 8.5 per cent from 11.6 per cent. of the area labor force. But, nevertheless, it remain- ed the part of Canada with the high- est percentage of jobless. 8.5 as against the national average of 5-1 per cent.

Sir.—ln the death of Mrs. R. L. Burge on January 7th. the Women‘s Institutes of Prince Edward Island suffered a very severe loss. Coming as It did un- expectedly. her passing was a distinct shock to her family and many friends.
Mrs. Burge was highly regard- ed by Institute members and of- ficers and in 1963 she was made an honorary life member of the Provincial Women‘: Institu- tes. having served with ability and graciousness. for fourteen years. on the Provincial Board.

post, called Aelana. at Aqaba.l A busy Arab port stood at Aqaba , in the 10th century. Later. Egyp-1 tians and Turks held sway over, the town. I
During World War I. Lawren-I cc of Arabia captured Aqaba for Britain in one of the most dar- ing actions of his Revolt in the. Desert.
Between the two world wars Aqaba was a sleepy. sun-baked fishing villageand supply cen-
. takes on strategic significance

Not In The Forecast

Kenneth do Courcy made. a reputation fori himself predicting things.

Every time a bomb went , off as predicted in Intelligence
Digest. Mr. 9 Courcy would
clrcularize influential persons. and publications In the United ,
his dope sheet. Mr. de Courcy ‘ made it all sound pretty good, . especially if one were unsophis- ticated in such matters.
On the profits of Intelligence Digest. and other pubiications and miscellaneous operations, Mr. de Courcy lived In a $200.- I 000 stone manor house In the
ates. offering subscriptions to . mot
Cotswolds. He associated with the rich. and the well born. en- tertained lavishly. and got his name in Debrett‘s handbook of the peerage. He became a right wing political force; nailed the gates of the manor house‘ was his motto. Truth Conquers All Things. - The motto turn ed out to be prophetic. as Intelligence Digest did not. The other day Mr. Courcy was convicted in London ‘ of 11 charges of fraud. perjury and forgery. and sentenced to seven years in prison.

Mr. Pearson At Woshinoton
By Ken Kelly Canadian Pm: sun Writer
Letter 3. Pearson. whose dip- lomatic achievements brought him the 1957 Nobel Peace Prize. is launched on a potential‘.y- rewarding but personally-risky role as go-between and peace-
r tween President do Glulle and President Johnson.
The rewards wlh come II able In talks with Mr. John- son this week In Washington to
come common ground be- tween the divergent views of the United State: and France. clpoclllly in relations with the mmunlct world:
But diplomatic the rink; are pacemaker is in danger of gel- tlng caught in the cross-fire be- tween the contending forces..
Informed circles say Mr. Pearson did not go out of his way to seek this role although he was aware it was a passion- Ity. He was asked by Gen. dc Gnulle to take It on. So It was added to his other aims for the Washington meetings Tuesday and Wednesday.
T0 OUTLINE DECISION .
In Washington, Mr. Pearson wll‘. give Mr. Johnson a run- own on Gen. de Gaulle’s deci- sion to accord diplomatic recog- nition to Communist China. a stop bitterly opposed by the
ericans.

Gen. Gaulle encouraged him to do so because the French president evidently has faith that Pearson's approach to for- clgn podlcy follows no rigid line dictated by Canada‘: closeness to the United States.
France was aware the U.S. might object to its decision on
‘recognition. The step a to challenge U.S. leadelx-pciiaelpmtyti the non-Commu at where France once wielded great influence and where the U.S. now spending great sums to flgm Communist attempts to mg. over small count Whether Gen. dc Gculle. or Mr. Pearson In explaining Gen, do Gaulle'c reasoning. wlfl be able to give Mr. Johnson infor- mation to offset adverse U.s.
