APPRECIATION AND CRITICISM

Sir,—The months of July and August I spent in Charlottetown during which my ship, the “Hunts- ville" was in refit. In that short time I found a great deal to like about the Island and the Islanders themselves. Their friendliness and generosity exceeds that of any o- ther section of Canada I have vis- ited. What ilnpressed me above all was their characteristic of public consciousness The interest shown by the people in the public affairs and government not only oi their own province but in those of the rest of the country is certainly an example to be followed by other parts of Canada.

However, I believe I am justified in making one criticism. I found it difficult to understand the rea- sons for the seeming incompata-

wise and impracticable, as we have pointed out. For there may be no other competent, trained individuals capable of doing the work assigned to them. It is, however, extremely important to ovoid preferment cf men who were outstanding Nazis ln the days when adherence to the party was voluntary instead oi virtually compulsory for all who valued their jobs. The real prob- lem is how to find competent as- slstants in the difficult task of ad- ministering Germany without showing favours to those who were once bulwarks of the Nazi regime.

We are not the only ones suffering from the auto horn nuisance. The sounding of an automobile horn is not necessary except in ex- ceptional cases, Mr. T. O. Leggett, inspector in charge of traffic, Montreal, told the press there on Saturday, and those drivers who per- sist in making unnecessary noise as they drive through the streets ravill have to be taught that they are not only disturbing the peace, but they are also sabotaging the nerve systems of peo- ple who are not in good health and unable to leave the city, as well as the other many thous- ands of people. The police of the traffic dc- partment are going to take a hand in an effort to try and curb these noisy automobilists who repeatedly sound their horns in travelling through intersections and while waiting in front of a residence for a passenger. Particularly they are going to watch out for drivers of cars who participate in wiedtling ceremonies, and who drive through the streets sounding their horns thinking how exciting it is.

During two great wars Halifax has stood guard at the approaches to the North American Continent. The navies and merchant marines of a world have filled her magni- ficent harbor; much of the wealth of the West, in men and materials, has flowed through the port to stem, on distant battlefields, the threat of aggression and tyranny. The old fort crowning Citadel Hill has been a symbol for Canadians and Americans alike of common resolve and common action. The enemy did not come to Halifax. But the city has paid dearly for its proud and dangerous role. One terrible winter morning in 1917 two vessels crashed in the narrow pass that leads into Bediord Basin _and one-tenth oi Halifax was destroyed in the ensuing explosion; 1,158 persons were killed, 4,000 in- jured and 20.000 left homeless. This grim reminder that, in time of war, Halifax becomes a power- ful keg has never been forgotten, and one can well imagine the ter- ror that swept through the city recently when the huge Canadian
