' BUIlcling For The Future

The opening of the beautiful new Church of the Most Holy Redeemer. With its adjoining rectory, during épr Confederation centennial cele- brations is an event of province- wide interest; and we venture to speak for all our readers in tender- ing warm congratulations to the Redemptorist Fathers and their de- voted parishioners on the success I ich has crowned their long Igonths of effort at this time. if The articles in Saturday‘s Guard- iin describing the special features (if the church design and furnish- ings, the phenomenal progress njade by the parish during little more than 35 years, and the spirit of dedication which this achievement Igpresents, have been read with widespread appreciation. But the egriking originality and appropriate- nbss of the innovations introduced by the architect, Mr. Alfred J. Hen- nessey, need to be seen at first hand to be appreciated.

In this connection we note that the members of the Charlottetown Ministerial Association will be guests of the church fathers on a tour of inspection of the new church and rectory on Wednesday after- noon. This, we believe, is another innovation, bespeaking the cordial relations existing between the clergy of different denominations in the c'Ommunity.

A church bulletin issued on this Occasion reminds us that, “the guid- ing principle is not The. brick and steel ef the architecture. but the people among whom the church stands.” To this we might add the Wise words of John Ruskin: "Fine art is that in which the hand, the head, and the heart of man go to- gether.” It was thus that this noble structure was erected amongst us. inspiring the hope that it will fulfill its high purpose for generations to come.

The Butler Situation

There are now 35 million pounds of 1963 Canadian butter in stor- age. This is the minimum practical amount and officials expect it will be consumed by spring. There still are 45.3 million pounds of butter oil in storage, but it is all committed for export before the end of the year.

This striking contrast to the sit- uation prevailing even a few months ago is hailed with relief at Ottawa. ‘It is not all good news, because dras-

m<f~xro§w

tic price reductions had to be made to win the export sales that were needed to move the huge accumula- Ztion of stocks. Taking even a 50 ,‘per cent loss in order to achieve this fresult, however, is rated a. very iconsiderable victory for Agriculture :Minister Harry Hays.

I ‘ As with the vast Soviet wheat 2&0], a combination of world demand fetid world weather conspired to fav- Iot the minister’s policy. Here is What happened, according to an Ot- iuwa correspondent in the Financial ,‘Pbat: 2 Two years ago there was an acme world wide surplus of dairy ::paoducts. Britain was obliged to ‘put regular suppliersmNew Zealand, .Matzralia and Denmark—on strict cm. Everyone else was pretty well abut out of the market. Then

’ “no a series of breaks for the in-

general prosperity in the

Wanton world aheme increased to dmnd for butter. Second, , , ' euffarad a terrible winter lace m which reduced

comm won. When Lon- don turned to its traditional sup- pliers, it found they couldn’t said much over their quotes as the rest of the world needed all they had. This drove Britain into the North American dairy market for the first time in years.

Washington was very anxious to unload its own butter surplus, and was offering relatively fresh but- ter—perhaps a couple of years old at most. Ottawa, on the other hand, was worried about what to do with its old butter, which has been in the warehouses three or four years. It is still quite edible, but below the standard Canadian consumers ac— cept.

The decision was taken to slash prices down to real bargain base- ment levels and see if the British would buy. They did, and by No- vember all but 12 million pounds of our old butter will be out of the warehouses. And the way world markets are shaping we may even get rid of that this year.

Last year butter consumption in Canada ran very slightly ahead of production, and it is expected to this year as well. This should as- sure there won’t be another increase in stocks. Neither Mr. Hays nor his officials are yet able to discuss the probable next step in butter policy. But, with butter demand remaining high on a worldwide basis, it is ob- Vious that Ottawa will soon be ready to begin trimming the subsidies.

Railway Matters

It is a relief to note that the Wage increase dispute between t h e railways and the nonoperating un- ions has been settled, and on terms recommended by a federal concilia- tion board. The increase was prac- tically underwritten by the Govern- ment in any case. It will cost the railways about $57 million, but the Government will consider the pay- ment of state subsidies covering their extra cost.

Such subsidies have been paid in previous strike settlements. But the arrangements are temporary and may soon be superceded under far- reaching changes recommended by the Macpherson royal commission on transportation.

This commission’s plan would in- volve a physical reorganization of the railways and an entirely new method of fixing traffic rates. Thousands of miles of excessive line and many uneconomic local services would be abandoned. The program would be spread over approximately five years and would be supervised by the Government through its Board of Transport Commissioners. Before any change was made the railways would have to justify it on economic grounds and prove that no community would suffer unneces- sary hardship.

In most of the railways' opera- tions the present method of fixing rates would be scrapped. Instead of a decision by the Transport Commis- sioners the railways would be allow- ed to charge any rate that the traf- fic could bear. The competition of trucks (as well as inland shipping and airlines) would, it is claimed, be sufficient to keep all rates at the lowest possible level. ,

There is grave misgiving in this part of Canada as to how such sweeping measures would work. The outlying provinces would inevitably suffer, as they did before the Mari- time Freight Rates Act was intro- duced. However, it is not believed that the Government will attempt to implement all the recommenda- tions of the Macpherson commission report in the legislation it is plan— ning to bring before Parliament.

The bill is now scheduled for in- troduction in the fall. It will chal- lenge close scrutiny on the part of all our representatives at Ottawa.

One nation that has learned tha‘

It paid out $55,500,000 in Second World War re- parations in the fiscal year 1963, bringing the total paid so far to $447,000,000, according to an en- nouncement the other day from To- kyo. And it still has a long way to go before reaching its agreed-on total of almost $1,000,000,000 in reparations and economic assistance to Burma, Cambodia, Indonesia, Laos, the Philippines and South Vietnam for damage they suffered as a result of Japanese military act- tone

"What is wrong with Parlia- ment?“ has been the question

this question.

In my opinion there is really nothing wrong with the institu- tion of Parliament nor, for the most part, with the people who go here. In most cases they are individuals acceptable in al- ‘ most any society, selected by the electorate ' party policies or political ad- herence. In many instances they are selected by the electorate because they have some capa-

city for winning friends and in- fluencing people.

What then is the peculiar in- capacity that seems to have ilallen over Parliament?

e reason for this may be in pant that we have a minority government four opposition parties. It may also be that we have witnessed in the past year a confusing state of affairs in so far as povermnent business is concerned.

In spite of all this I find that Parliament is not much differ- ent now than it was when I be- came a member in 1952. Parlia- ment rolls on, business gets done (“lien it is presented) a in general the things that have to be done eventually get done.

Parliament is a place where those representing the people have an opportunity to express their opinions. It has been said by many that there should not be partisan politics in Paulin-

about 50 tons and are worth about $3,000 each.

A Karlsen vessel. the Minna, with mainly Nova Scotian crew, has been concentrating on smaller mammals and on July 13 unloaded 120,000 ounds.

A psychic cause is Impacted when the stuttering occurs under stress or with excitement. The boy or girl loses confidence on becoming aware of the speech difficulty. This added hazard is more likely to follow when the parents place a penalty or foe- us undue attention on imperfect speech. The youngster now is on the way to becoming a stutterer. At first there is a block in say- ing the some sounds, words, and phrases.

The problem should be rec- ognized as early as possible and the environment changed. Best results are obtained before the child develops a defeaflst lm~ age of himself as a stutcerer.
