Gilli Statement lie Train Services

MONCTON. N- 3-. Jan. 6 —(CP) —- Commenting on reports cir- culated here today that two of the Canadian National Railways runs between Montreal and Halifax would not be cancelled. railway officials here said that the pass- enger service cut-back would be carried out as announced. The two runs involved were No. 3 and No. 4.

It was explained that combining of the ail-sleeper Ocean Limited and coach and sleeper Scoiian into one train was a curtailment only in that it rcturncd ihc scrvicc be- tween Helifax and Moncton to its pre-war schedule. The Scollan was inaugurated during war years as e second section to the Ocean Limited. Combining of the two trains, it was slated, aided in the conservation order, while main- taining pre-war service.

The following statement has been issued by Mr. Donald Gordon. C. N. It. president, in this connection:

"We will be able to continue both a dziy and a night irain he- tween Montreal and IInlifax. We have now arranged that the eve- ning train from Montreal and the morning train from Iialifux will be a combination of the sleeping car equipment of the Ocean Limited tolether with the day coaches and niliier cars of the Scoiian. So far as ihc timetable is conccnicd, it will riln on the Scotian time. The Maritime Express Will be con- tinued on its present schedule.

"Meanwhile," said Mr. Gordon. "we are continuing to fake all suitable coal we can from the Mariiimes, from Alberta. or from the United States and move iii westward and eastward to the best possible advantage.”

HISTORIC IAIIT

The famous old London jail. call- ed Fleet Prison. has been destroy- ed many times and has played a big part in the history of England. slime Nomton times.

"Prince Edward Island ll the one sit-ate in the two Americas where the people without recourse io revolution or statisrri, are in a position to give an illustration of a slate without one slum home,” stated Rev. Dr. M. M. Coady of St. F. X., in an inspiring talk to a group of Junior Farmers. I311‘ cultural representatives arid Y's Men at a joint supper meeting at the Y. M. C. A. last night.

“You can give that illustration. continued Dr. Coady because your Province is not over industrialized and you are not subject to forces over which you have no control- You can show the world a state where every farmer, every fisher- man and every townsman can live comfortably."

To attain this state you must

clearly bear your objective in mind. You must bring your phy- sical, economic, social and 891T‘ itual forces together so that you may be adequate. Something which has never been done before. You must ask yourself. "Will my 1S1"! be adequate for P. E. I. in fifty years?" Throughout his talk, the general topic of which was “Achievin! Our Destiny", Dr. Coady figura- lively used Jhc bulldinfi of t} bridge in demonstraiathe objec» to uie group. His nudge passed from our present civilization to a higher civilization which he stat- ed must be perpetual.

stresses Humility

To support this bridge so that iiie higher civilization could _br reached he said that four pier! were required. the first of Whit!“ was scientific humility" "No man can be a scientist unless he is humble. People mustihave the proper attitude and believe that progress is possible."

As an example of what M1110 be accomplished he referred to the income of the U. S. A. which amounted to 39 billion dollars in i933. "People laughed when it was slated by President Roosevelt that ii. could be raised to 115 bil- lion dollars but today it amounts to 264 billion dollars. Yesterday President Truman said that by the vear 2000 it would amount to one trillion dollars annually."

In all probability. he continued. we are entering the greatest era in history. and this is certainly the most idealistic age in human history- We want people who can inspire other‘ people to do these arc-t things;

His second pier was nhvsicai fit- ness which could be obtained by getting people scientific enough to feed themselves.

The third oier was ‘knowlede’. ihc nerd and use of science. He was told by one scientist that P l-T. T. oysters wane capable of a iii million dollar per year develop- ment. He said that there was a terrific lag in the development of the social sciences.

Self Discipline

The fourth pier was self discip- line and control which is needed to build a wonderful people. Ycung people he said rnust be sent to school and older people must be mn-hilizcd for adult learning.

Do not have ambition to be his. he warned the group. The real ambition of our democracy is to have men who have no one over them and no serfs beneath them "What ure cant." he concluded. "is a growing population in these Provinces which will be well off."

The desire to better their farm- ing conditions and to build better communities was strengthened among the Junior Farmers attend- ing the short course at St. Dun- stants University yesterday asthe group listened to a series of talks and discussions which began eariv in the morning and lasted until late yesterday evening.

Other - speake s

‘Following a hearty bres asi the young farmers and faime lter heard s talk on community beautification by Col. E. W. Johnstone. He outlined how farm conditions must be made more at- tractive to maintain the number our rural population which is dc- creasing.

He dealt with the ten points used in beautification contests ex- plaining how to handle each to the best advantage. He invite-l all to join the yearly contest slat- ing that they would benefit by in- creasing the value of their homes.

The group than took a short recreation which was followed by a talk on the Federation of Agri- culture bv Mr. Louis O'Connor. the president. Mr. O'Connor out- lined the aims. and raooompiish- menis of tho Federation and sirecscd the necessity of organi- zation.

Iuni Electrification

llilr. B. A. Ainsworth, general manager of the Maritime Electric Company told the group that pres- ent plans for rural electrification call for an extension of 500 miles of lines and 3.000 to 3.500 Cilslom ers during the next five years.

At present he stated the Island on the basis of population is well ahead of tho rest of Canada as far as the development of rural

electrification is concerned. At present. 3,750 rural hcmes have electricity.

lie reviewed the development of rural electrification in recent years and discussed the advantage of-eiectrlo current noting that five or siX dollars worth of current properly armlicd on a fiarm could do the same work that a man could do at a total cost of about one hundred dollars per month.

Dinner over the group of rural youth sat in on an afternoon's discussion of marketing problems conducted by Mr. W. B. Shaw, Deputy Minister of Agricultiue. Mr. Fred Nash. District Manager Poultry Products and Miss M’. Robin. W.l. supervisor.

SAINT JOHN, N. B. Jan. 5 4r (CPI - The Transportation Com- mission of the Maritime Board of Trade will prepare a freight rates brief for submission io the United States Inter-State Commerce Com- mission, H. H. Hatfield said in an interview today.

Mr. Hatfield, resident of Hart- land, N. B, and Progressive Con- servative member of parliament for Victoria-Carleton, is one 0f the Maritime potato growers and shippers wiho conferred at Mono- ton yesterday with Rand H. Mathe- son. chairman of the Transporta- tion Commission with information for the brief.

The ncw rates. corresponding with a similar 1949 reduction from Maine tn other U. S. points. were sched- uled to become effective Jan. 14.

British Statistics

LONDON, Jan. 6- (Friday)—— (Reuters)-— Government statisti- cians today gave the people more facts for the "are we better off léinn before the war" political par- ior game.

Publication of an official an- nlial abstract of statistics showed that, compared with pre-war, the average British adult is:

The chances of committing sui- clde seem to be about 20 per cent less than pro-war,

Parents have a 25-per-cent better chance of r e a r i n g their children through infancy to ihc first birthday.

GIRLS FLUNK TEST. NAMES MEAN NOTHING

LONDON, Jan. 4 -— (CF) _- A Larnarksiire man is convinced that no British girl under the age of l6 ever reads the newsps/pcrs or listens to the radio.

He decided that after listening to a radio program in which girls ranging from l3 to l7 were asked to associate top statesmen with the countries they represent.

The girls linked Spain's Gen. Franco with Russia, Yurgoslavlirs Marshal Tito with Italy, Ireland's John Costello with Italy. Aus- tralia's Dr. H. V. Evatt with France and Argentina's President Peron with Hungary. A couple of girls correctly associated labor leader John L. Lewis and the Marshal Plan administrator Paul Hoff- man with the United States.
